Raise bar for right-wing writers

Charles Hammer (8/8, Letters) comments that “The Star’s Republican syndicated columnists endlessly batter Obama” and that “meanwhile, The Star chooses liberal columnists who write about family, foster care and ‘the Pakistan-India chasm.’.”

Although I understand his point, I would prefer to see a higher class of conservative columnists instead of a total abandonment of real issues. Are there no conservative columnists available who discuss issues intelligently?

I appreciate someone who will challenge my opinions. Michelle Malkin merely fatigues me with her constant negativity.

I wish the Star had more real conservative writers rather than the right-wing garbage hacks that call themselves "conservative," even though they aren't.

"We conservatives continue to offer to trade Michelle Malkin for Lewis Duiguid"

That's a fair trade Gary although your statement that she can write and think at the same time is a bit of a stretch. "Write and fabricate at the same time" would be a more accurate. But I guess fabrication requires thinking too.

We conservatives continue to offer to trade Michelle Malkin for Lewis Duiguid. It would be a good deal for liberals. At least she can write and think at the same time.

I think the Star features some excellent conservative syndicated columnists. George Will, Charles Krauthammer and Thomas Friedman come to mind. Jonah Goldberg also makes his fair share of good points. Michelle Malkin? Yeah right!

Too bad Carlin is gone, he was pretty on the money.

Let's see. We can replace them with a failed standup commedian or how about a former network movie reviewer?
